AMBROSE POSTS TOP 10 TIMES IN FINAL BUSCH SERIES TEST OF THE
YEAR AT LOWE'S

Team Australia driver Marcos Ambrose has posted top 10 times
in the final NASCAR Busch Series open test of the year at
Lowe's Motor Speedway in Charlotte, North Carolina this
week.

Ambrose was consistently quick in the Aussie Vineyards-backed
#59 Kingsford Charcoal Ford Fusion around the 1.5-mile
speedway. The former two-time Australian V8 Supercar champion
currently sits 11th in the NASCAR Busch Series standings and
third in the Raybestos Rookie of the Year standings.

The second day of testing brought strong results for Ambrose,
who was 14th fastest in the afternoon session and ninth in
the evening session. NASCAR Busch Series points leader and
Nextel Cup driver Carl Edwards was the fastest driver over
the two day test.

Ambrose will enjoy a rare weekend off this weekend before
competing in the Carquest Auto Parts 300 at Lowe's Motor
Speedway on May 26.

"We gained a lot from this final open test of the year and
had quite a good car by the end of the two days," said
Ambrose.

"It's good to be able to test at Lowe's just a week before
we race here, so we can definitely put some of what we have
gained into practice next week.

"We've had quite a busy schedule lately so as much as I
love racing all the time it will be good to have a weekend
off in some ways. The team and I will be looking ahead and
making sure everything is in place for the rest of the
season.

"The team is working really well and we are making good
progress. I was pleased with our pace at Darlington, we've
shown strong speed here in testing and I'm confident we can
carry on our momentum into next week's race."
